The 275 GTB/4 wasn't exactly your average Ferrari of the day: the engine was heavily reworked at the factory, giving it a clean 300 hp. Combined with the sleek lines courtesy of the design gurus at Pininfarina, the car could top 165 mph.

The engine's so important that that's where the car gets most of its name: 275 is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of each combustion chamber in the engine, and the "/4" denotes that it has four cams. In other words, this is what happens when Ferrari supes up a Ferrari.

How cool is this? After McQueen got out of the driver's seat, Zorro bought the car. Really. Actor Guy Williams, who was both Zorro and Professor Robinson in Lost in Space, cherished it until his death.

The workers were so enamored with it that they had photos of McQueen laying around both as inspiration and to use as reference points.
